Vernon Richter
Vernon Richter is a native of San Antonio, Texas and began playing trumpet in Houston, Texas at the age of eleven. His formal education in trumpet began in 1984 at East Texas State University, currently Texas A&M Commerce, as a Music Performance Major.
A desire to experience all different types of music, and especially music with trumpet, has been a part of Vernon his entire life. He has had the opportunity to full-fill this desire on many occasions by playing in Symphony Orchestras, Brass Ensembles, Brass Quintets, Brass Trio’s, Show Pit Orchestra’s, Jazz Bands, Jazz Combos, solo work, rock/soul/r&b/country bands and Blues Bands.
Vernon is a former member and co-founder of Center Stage Brass, a 10-member professional brass ensemble in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex dedicated to performing brass literature and promoting music education. Vernon also performs regularly with the Richardson Symphony as 3rd trumpet with the ensemble. He has performed with the Lewisville Lake Symphony, East Texas Symphony, Mesquite Symphony and Flower Mound Symphony. Vernon performed as a featured soloist with the Northeast Orchestra in 2019 performing “Let the bright Seraphim”, by Georg Friedrich Handel.
Finally, Vernon is heavily involved in teaching in the Lewisville ISD and Prosper area and typically carries a studio of over 80 students in addition to conducting 3 master classes per week at the high school level. He has over 20 years of teaching experience in the area with countless students achieving top honors at the District, Region and State levels at the middle and high school levels. In 2022, his studio produced 5 All-State trumpet students, all from Hebron High School, which is unprecedented at the State level for the trumpet. Vernon has also produced students that have competed in the semi-finals and finals of the National Trumpet Competition. Vernon consistently has students entering colleges pursuing degrees in music education or music performance.
